Tucked beside towering sandstone cliffs, the three-pearl Zion Lodge is the only hotel inside of Zion National Park with direct access to hiking trails and on-site permitted parking. Wild turkeys and deer graze beside the restaurant’s and cafe’s patios. The 1920s-built cabins feature wooden pitched ceilings, stone fireplaces, and porches, but flat-screen TVs are only offered in Southwestern-themed hotel rooms and suites. Facilities are limited, but guests stay here for the outdoors activities and easy access to the free shuttles that run throughout the park. Overall, this hotel’s location is unbeatable and appeals to tourists looking for Utah's outdoor adventure experience. All guests must pay a mandatory park entrance fee.

Zion Mountain Ranch is a three-pearl working ranch right outside Zion National Park, a 30-minute drive from the park's main parking lot. The ranch offers a range of 53 cabins and lodges with microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers, though the TVs lack cable and there are some maintenance issues. The nicest cabins have extras like full kitchens or a massage room. There’s a single farm-to-table restaurant, Cordwood, with ingredients sourced from the ranch and a full breakfast for a fee. Most features here focus on exploring, and include booked guides and tours, horseback riding, and in-cabin massages for any lingering saddle soreness. As an alternative, the Holiday Inn Express Springdale, Zion Natl Pk Area has a free shuttle to downtown Springdale and the national park, plus a pool and a free breakfast.

This 4000-acre ranch located on the eastern entrance of Zion National Park is all about parks and recreation. With hiking trails that can actually lead guests into Zion as well as a ton of activities to amuse kids and adults alike -- think horseback riding, wall climbing, trampoline bungees, zip lining, miniature golf, all-terrain vehicle tours, and more -- this rustic resort is perfect for people wanting a fun-filled vacation. There’s also a small spa on the property as well as a large pool and hot tub. An on-site restaurant serves a la carte breakfast and dinner, and different snack bar-type options are available for lunch. Rooms run the gamut from full-sized mountain homes to shared camp-style cabins to RV-hookup sites to old-school tents; in other words, your type of stay here will largely be predicated on what you book. No matter what kind of lodging you choose, however, you will definitely not have a shortage of things to do at the Zion Ponderosa.****
